Miki’s Rules to Live by: Jargon Incites Violence
by Miki SaxonSalvor Harding, a character in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, states a great truth when he says, “Violence is the last refuge of incompetence.”
I plagiarized that line and applied it to the business world, especially networking events and came up with this…
Jargon is the next-to-last refuge of incompetence.
But I have to say, people who break my rule sometimes leave me feeling incompetent enough to resort to violence to shut them up.
